Thanks so much to all of the AFRO FUNKE' MASSIVE who braved the LA rainstorm to make it out for an amazing evening last Thursday!! The decks were graced by AFRO FUNKE' favorite DJ AL JACKSON who came through fire to deliver an unbelievable set that had folks dancing in the bathrooms! DJ TIM "LOVE" LEE knocked out a quick but deep set of Afro and Latin classics which led the folks begging for more Cumbia! Shout outs to DJ GLENN RED who held the whole night down tight as MR. JEREMY SOLE was up in the Bay area speading the gospel of good music. Another thanks to GIANT STEP for bringing us the lovely INDIA.ARIE listening party which was a truly beautiful way to open the night. Happy birthday love to BOB MARLEY and CARY SULLIVAN!!

This week, AFRO FUNKE' LIVE brings you a 10 piece Grammy nominated Latin / Reggae tour de force....watch out!
